Did you know we offer day trips and sleepovers for our dogs? 🐾

Even a short break from the shelter can make a huge difference for a dog. Studies show that time out of the shelter helps reduce stress, boosts confidence, and can even increase adoptability!

Whether you want a hiking buddy, a pup cup date, or just a couch companion for the evening, we’d love to help match you with the perfect dog. You can choose a pup yourself or let our staff help find the right fit for your lifestyle.

Already have a dog at home? No problem! Our staff can help facilitate a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along before your adventure begins.

A few hours of your time could mean the world to a shelter dog. Stop by and take a pup out today — you’re guaranteed to make their day a little brighter. ❤️

Poppy was sadly dumped outside our fence on 5/26/26. Please remember that abandoning animals is extremely unsafe and puts them at serious risk.

Our shelter is open for owner surrenders and assistance Monday–Saturday from 10 AM–12 PM and 1 PM–5 PM, as well as Sundays by appointment only. We are here to help, but leaving animals outside the shelter is dangerous and heartbreaking.

Poppy was found wrapped in a blanket under a tree near the transit station, with large trucks constantly driving in and out and a busy road directly in front of the shelter. Thankfully, one of our staff members spotted her in time, but we have no idea how long she had been sitting there alone.

She is now safe in our care, but situations like this could easily end in tragedy. Please, if you are struggling and need help with an animal, contact us directly so we can work with you safely and compassionately.

The good news is that Poppy is safe, receiving lots of love from staff, and will be available for adoption starting 6/4/26 at 10:00 AM. We can’t wait to help her find the loving forever home she deserves. 🐾

🐾 Meet Max, Mason & Zeke! 🐾

These three handsome boys have been growing up in the shelter since 4/16/26 💔 They came to us as tiny 2-month-old puppies, and now at 4 months old, they’re still waiting for families to call their own.

Max, Mason, and Zeke are Catahoula Leopard Dog/Retriever mixes with fun-loving personalities, playful energy, and hearts full of love. They spend their days wrestling, playing, and dreaming about what it’s like to finally have a home, a couch, and a family of their very own. 🐶❤️

Our puppy sale ends at the end of this month, and we would LOVE to see these boys in loving homes before then. They are ready to go home TODAY!

Please share this post and help us find Max, Mason & Zeke the furever homes they deserve. 🏡✨

👅 Tongue Out Tuesday starring Nix! 👅

Meet Nix! This beautiful Cane Corso has soulful eyes, a giant tongue that’s always making an appearance, and a goofy side that will keep you smiling. 😄

Nix hasn’t had the easiest past, but despite everything she’s been through, she still has so much love left to give. Beneath her strong, stunning exterior is a sweet girl who just wants to be loved and feel safe. 💛

And when Nix gets the zoomies? Watch out! This funny girl runs like the wind, tongue flopping everywhere, turning into a total goofball that’s impossible not to laugh at.

She’s proof that even after hard times, a dog can still have a joyful spirit and a heart full of love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with personality, beauty, and a little comedic flair, Nix might just be your perfect match. 🐾
